In the kitchen.
This is the temptation I have to resist everyday in my parents kitchen. gargggkijkalsnmdk
key lime pie...randomly in the fridge.
This is the freezer. If only you knew how many ice cream flavors were buried in here...
100 calorie snack packs are evil. They are full of empty calories. If you're gonna blow 100 calories, blow them on an apple or something useful. Ughhhh
Carbbbbsssss
This is the candy bowl. Its conveniently located next to a giant bag of sugar, some m&ms, and a bag of jelly bellies.
Oreos, rice crispy treat, etc etc
Yes, that's a tub of cookie dough. Yes, that's a tub of whipped cream.
Too Early
No Weight Today.
Its saturday morning and i have to work so I cant go into my parent's room for the scale. booo.

Running.
Today's weight: 180.8 lbs
JaNae and I are adding on another half mile to our 3.1 that we normally run. Im actually really excited because I am hoping to see it accelerate my weight loss. I want to see myself at 175 lbs asap.
I got a letter from my friendy Ashten from ARMY bootcamp yesterday and she says shes lost tons of weight. Its a motivator. When I get to 175 lbs Im going to celebrate somehow. Not sure how...but I mgoing to reward myself with something.
I can get there...its only 5 lbs to lose. Im thinking I can get it done within 2 weeks.
rawrrrr. I feel so motivated its ridiculous.
Oh and for the record, my tip for today is DONT EAT AT PANERA BREAD THINKING ITS GONNA HELP YOUR DIET. Its not. lol...I peeked at the nutrition facts and discovered that my favorite sandwhich is actually a little over 700 calories! Talk about ridiculous!

Finally. Woosh.
Today's Weight: 180.8lbs
Thank goodness.
Cleansing all the crap out of my system yesterday got rid of those nasty 2 lbs I had packed back on. All it took was willpower and healthy foods.
Speaking of healthy foods...
A little story from last night. This is going to show you just exactly how freaking addicted to food I am:
I did pretty okay with my portioning yesterday. I ran a 2.5 mile uphill run with JaNae and then stretched really well afterwards. I went to work and did just fine with some trail mix and water. When I got home though, I ate my small dinner portion and that's when the trouble started. I still felt hungry because i had eaten my food super fast (I only feel full when I eat slowly.) and it hadn't settled yet. So I walked to the cabinet, and casually pulled out a rice crispy treat and a handful or oreos. i seriously had the rice crispy up to my mouth when I realized what I was doing.
That's when the mind tricks started.
I kept telling myself I was so hungry, and a little snack wouldn't matter...or that if i didn't lose any weight that night I would make up for it in a day or two. These are the things that Ive been telling myself that have kept me fat for the past two years. Finally I had to make a conscience effort to put those treats down. lol...its funny now, but last night I was literally sad about it. I wanted those treats. But this morning my scale is thanking me for not eating them and look! i didn't starve to death.
The hardest part is JUST SAYING NO.
If you find yourself in a situation with fatty foods...its up to YOU to man up and not eat them. lol..we all know everyone gives in to temptation every now and then, and that's ok...but don't make it a habit. If you're out for fast food and have to choose between a cheeseburger or a salad, stop and physically force yourself to turn down the fat and to eat the salad. Its a tough decision at the time, but a few hours later you wont care how badly you wanted the burger AND you'll be proud of yourself. Its sooo hard, I know, but it can be done.
(im going to take pictures of our cabinets and stuff here so you can see what a struggle i have to deal with everyday. But honestly, I hate being fat more than I love eating food. FOOD IS JUST FUEL.)

Did Not Weigh Myself Today
I am waiting until tomorrow bc Im going through a day of detox from all the junk Ive been eating this past week. Im on my strict diet again.
i ran an uphill 2.5 mile course with JaNae today and even though it wasnt our usual 3.1 mile, it was KILLER because of the hills. I wore my mom's shoes because mine were a little more than destroyed from yesterday (I went on a bike ride and got lost in the woods. lol) and now my feet are covered in blisters.
Tomorrow is our day off from running and we are going to do JaNae's Turbo Jam dvd. I will probably still run about a mile though just because I feel incomplete without some running. We'll have to see how my feet feel.
Now you can see why I wore my mom's running shoes today. lol.
Wish me luck for my weigh in tomorrow!

cupcakes, the scourge of woman.
today's weight: 182.6 lbs
yesterday I did not follow my own advice and I ate cupcakes at work like they were the last food on Earth. Its my fault. lol. Today Im back to my diet again, which isn't bad. I always feel a little starved the first day I'm on it, but that's because I stretch my freaking stomach with all the junk I shove in it. Ill have a really long and fun post tomorrow.
today I'm working out with JaNae as usual, and then I'm going for a sweet trail blazing bike ride with my friend Jamie. Wooo!

oops
today's weight: 182.6 lbs
Thats my bad. I havent been following any sort of portioning rules or anything since my birthday on the 16th. So thats nearly 4 days of non portion control AND eating cake etc etc. The damage isnt too bad. Im pretty sure I can get back down to at least 180-179 in a day or two when I start portioning again.
Im going for the usual 5k with JaNae this morning. Thats going to help too.
For the record, we have started incpororating resistance bands and some dvds into our training and after we did my biggest loser dvd the other day we both felt like we were going to die. HOWEVER...I have a defined arm muscle now where you couldnt see one before.
lol...this picture is dark because its 7:30am and Drewy is still asleep. But as you can see, there is a line of defined muscle on my arm. Obviously I still have the chubby underarm thing going, but Im working on that too. Thats going to take some cardio to melt the fat away before you can see my biceps again.

Vomit.
So today I was more sore than you could imagine due to a workout video that JaNae and I tried a yesterday...but I decided to run on it aanyway. i think I ran 4 miles with my jogging stroller. I know it was at least 3. ever since I have been home since then though, I feel like I have to vomit...ugh. I didnt get to weigh myself today because my dad is the only one home and he locks the door to his bedroom allthe time when hes not in there. Ill probably get a weight on monday. i feel yuckkkkkyyyyy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEEEE
Today's weight: 179.6 lbs
yes. I have finally crossed out of the 180s. Its a glorious day. lol. I am still doing my regular 5k with JaNae today but since its my birthday i am going to try and beat my previous time by a minute.
oh, and last night i ate some pie, so I'm really shocked by the scale. but I'm not complaining! :) lol

I had to post a picture bc its that unfreakingbelievable.
Today's Weight: 180.8 lbs!!
And yes, I took a picture of the scale because I knew this would start to sound unbelievable. lol. I'm losing weight so quickly this week!!!! I'm sure it will hit a plateau soon, honestly....My secret weapon is just counting calories and tons of exercise. Literally. That's IT.
What I Ate Yesterday:
1 yogurt.
1 slice toast, hummus, tomato, and a colby jack cheese stick
1/2 cup traders Joe's trail mix (mmm with m&ms in it)
about 1 1/2 to 2 cups of a mixture of my mom's steak taco dinner. I just put the re fried beans, steak, and some guacamole into a bowl and mixed and then ate it.
TONS of water
Maybe I'm not taking in ENOUGH calories? I'm not sure? but i don't feel sick. I'm still trying to learn to make things more nutritionally balanced, but for now I'M doing alright. The key is consistency. I try and eat basic things, and when I do eat them, I eat them pretty much every day. Its not even boring, honestly, once you get used to it you stop craving junk food. I also ran that 5k yesterday. I'm running it again today. Seriously, its work, but once you make it into a HABIT you don't feel cravings anymore. I stopped fixating on food too, which was nice.
I hope I'm not starving myself by accident???

Pedometer...
Ok so I tried out a pedometer at work yesterday just to see if I burned anything during a typical day at work. Supposedly youre supposed to walk 10,000 steps a day to lose weight...i walked about that. Here are the stats:
steps: 9,544
miles: 3.6
cals burned: 474.1
Not too shabby. That doesnt include all the lifting I do, or the running around I do at home, or the workouts from when I run (I dont run on Sundays if I can help it, obviously.)
Im not big on 'walking to lose weight' per se, but Ill def wear the pedometer to make sure Im getting in my 10,000 steps plus some cardio and strength training.
As for jenna...I took off the word verification thingie from the comments section, so hopefully you can post now! Let me know!

booya
today's weight= 183.2lbs
I know Ive been dropping it pretty quickly but really its all about portioning and exercise. and those 8 ounce glasses of water. its easy to say "oh Ill just have one donut hole it wont kill" but that one donut hole can contain as much as 50 extra calories. or its easy to say " well, Ill eat these two hot pockets but nothing else until dinner" but we all know that never works and then you've packed on more calories than you would've normally.
Another thing Ive noticed is that I can choose to either eat the 110 calories worth of cookie, or the 110 calories worth of apple. There is a difference. Doesn't seem like it, but its so much easier to burn off an apple than it is to burn off a cookie. So I'm struggling but also fighting really hard to cut out as much junk as possible.
Food is an ADDICTION. Its really all a MENTAL THING. you trick yourself into thinking you're starving or unsatisfied with healthy food, but to your body, its all the same. Fuel. Its your MIND that makes you get fat bc your mind is the one convincing you to eat a bunch of crap and its your mind that convinces you to pass running or exercise up for a day or two.
I maybe feel a tad disappointed when I don't get the comfort of eating a cookie, but I feel a heck of alot more powerful when I'm on the scale the next day.
Dieting is a fight, but its one you can win...

gah!
today's weight=187.0 lbs
I knew eating that candy and sweet bread would add one weight. But I also didnt hydrate for crap yesterday so thats why. Im sure if i hydrate today and stick to the low cals ill be back aat 185 tomorrow. by the end of the week i can be 183 again.
even thoughits getting to be towards the middle of the month, im still confidant that I can lose 7lbs. Ill cut out all the stupid cravings and run extra. I just cant believe I gave in and ate candy! not to mention Dr Fitzgerald brought this orange glazed bread to work yesterday that she home made and it was freaking good. lol
I can fix this.

Didnt get a chance to weigh myself today
thankfully. bc i have been piggin out. Im thinking that the lb i lost will be gained again tomorrow.
I am going running so much this week that its going to kill me. but at least ill die a skinny girl. :)
I talked to Bryce a few minutes ago on the phone and it was strange. I feel all butterly-ish and my face is all red and hot. its a wierd feeling. I really like this guy. i guess we'll find out whats in store for the future eventually. Either way, being so uncomfortable makes me want to run alot, bc i run when im nerous or upset.
ughhh Im so stressed. maybe ill lose stress weight.

Today
Weighed in at: 185.0 lbs
Bryce :)
Today is rocking so far! i have managed to stay in a healthy calorie range and I went for another 5k run this morning with JaNae and her daughter Cambrie in the jogging stroller! I think Ive finally got into some good habits. I'm still at 185, but I get the feeling tomorrow or the next day will show some loss. I'm just going to keep up with my whole running thing. I will run the 5k with JaNae at least once or twice a week, and on off days I will run a mile as usual. Our goal is to run about 5 miles by the end of summer. There are alot of sweet trails around here that really help. I can't wait to see the end of this month's photo of myself! I'm hoping that it will be a few inches smaller.
As for other forms of motivation...husband hunting. lol that sounds so hilarious. I'm obviously not really hunting to get married again asap. but boys are good motivation. Let me introduce you to my biggest motivation, who is flying out to see me in a month or two for a temple visit:
Bryce :)
Total crush on this kid. He just got off of his mission so its actually to the point where it isn't wrong to look at him in a crush sort of way.Hes adorable. Goal: be asked out on a date :) lol. Hey, it could happen.
This is what I looked like when Bryce saw me last:
.JPG)
Thankfully I have since lost lots of weight and changed my hair to something not so ugly. lol. Who knows if anything will ever happen with Bryce, but I really have a super desire to know him better...so healthy, here I come! So happy for secret blogs, where no one will ever see me crush all over Bryce (except you, Jenna!) lol

4th of July Damage
Today's Weight= 185.0 lbs!!!!
!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! lol. I'm really, truly shocked at this morning's weigh in. I did HORRIBLE this past weekend. We had family come over and I ate not only pizza, but slushies...cheeseburgers...pie. Then again I DID complete a 5k run on Saturday morning with the jogging stroller and yesterday was fast Sunday so I didn't eat the first two meals. lol...I'm not complaining. I feel extra motivated now. I'm even on my period so its amazing that I haven't retained water weight.
I still have that 7lb weight loss goal for this month, Ive decided to incorporate the exact same 5k route that I ran Saturday into my workout at least once a week. it helps to run with a buddy, so my friend JaNae and I will run it together. i really, really want to be fit looking again. :)
